09/27/2022 Treasures
Locate hidden treasures in 12 of the empty cells of this grid. The numbers outside the grid indicate how many treasures there are in each row or column. Each arrow points directly toward one or more of the treasures. An arrow may be immediately next to a treasure it points to, or it may be farther away. Not every treasure will necessarily have an arrow pointing to it. Can you locate the 12 treasures?

Deduce a secret number made of four different digits 1 through 9. The chart shows four guesses at the number, and a score for each guess using marbles. Any digit that appears in the secret number in the same position as in the guess is scored with a black marble. Any digit that appears in the secret number in a different position than in the guess is scored with a white marble. Any dig that is not in the secret number does not get a marble. It’s up to you to determine which digits are indicated by the marbles. Can you figure out the four-digit number?
